Rachel Maddow Predicts Trump Will Campaign Against American Legal System After Conviction: ‘Vote for Me and I’ll Destroy It’

“He’s running against the American system of government,” the MSNBC host said, “and that will become more acute”

Rachel Maddow thinks Donald Trump is about to come out swinging even harder for the U.S. legal system as his presidential campaign continues in the aftermath of his historic Thursday conviction. Trump was found guilty on all 34 counts in his New York criminal trial, making him the first ex-president to become a convicted felon. 

During an MSNBC segment directly following the breaking news, Maddow addressed the question Trump is going to have to answer throughout the rest of his campaign — why should Americans vote for a convicted felon? — with a prediction that he’ll seek to delegitimize the system that made him one.

    Oh, the irony of Donald Trump running on a platform of destroying the American legal system, when the American legal system is THE reason why he, as a convicted felon, will somehow face virtually no roadblocks on his way to Election Day.

    Meanwhile, if virtually anyone else in the US became a convicted felon, they would be too worried about being incarcerated to think about how this will affect a presidential campaign. He just can’t wrap his mind around being held legally accountable for his actions, and how his handlers have managed to leverage that very same American legal system
